Hi there,
Hope this finds you well, I'm working on a simple project to analyse data
using
regular expressions. I have successfully worked on a regular expression
pattern
that extracts data from my txt file. Unfortunately after i extract the data
my output has too much of square brackets and by so doing the output cant
be well exported in a csv file. I have worked on an idea of Re.sub function
where i'm trying to replace all square brackets in my output with an empty
string.
Below are images of what i have been working on.

Explanations of the attachments and images named as follows:
*1. mydata in txtfile. *This images shows how my data looks in the txt file
although
i have also attached the real txt file with the actual data below.
*2. code for the output. *This image shows the regular expression that is
well extracting the data from my txt file.
3. *my output. *This image shows the out after i ran my code . it shows the
square brackets that are in my output and ones i need to do away with.
4.*tryone code. *This image shows my first try using re.sub to eliminate
the square brackets.
*5. tryone output.*This images shows the output i had after running the
code in the image named tryone code.
*6. try two code:*This image shows my second try using re.sub to eliminate
the square brackets.
*7.trytwo output.*This images shows the output i had after running the code
in the image named trytwo code.
*8.try four code.*This image shows my fourth try using re.sub to eliminate
the square brackets.
*9.try four output.* This images shows the output i had after running the
code in the image named tryfour code.
*10.try five code.*This image shows my number five try using re.sub to
eliminate the square brackets
*11.*  *try five output.*This images shows the output i had after running
the code in the image named tryfive code.
*12.line five name code regex.*This image shows the full code for the name
regular expression with the re.sub function for the code
in the image named try five code.
*13.try six code.*This image shows my sixth try using re.sub to eliminate
the square brackets
*14. try six output.*This images shows the output i had after running the
code in the image named tryfsix code
*15.try six full name code.*This image shows the full code for the name
regular expression with the re.sub function for the code
in the image named try six code.
*16. unon.TXT. *This is the txt file that has the data i am extracting.

Kindly assist and kindly copy my work email ( edward.mwangi at un.org ) when

Thanks alot.
